    Hmmmmmm????

    Hey, Chris, before you put it out there – I might finally be stumped by the
    “Gino’s Hubcap Pie”. Guessing this might be an invention of someone in the senior center kitchen.

      Guesses

      Ha, you beat me to it.

      Maybe the kitchen staff is messing with us… : )

      Maybe a meat pie of some sort? Or pizza-like invention?

        We only know it's round...

        That’s what I was thinking, too- something pizza -ish. I’m starting to think that kitchen must be a pretty interesting place to work!

    Green rice?

    Green rice or "rice Verde" is

    Green rice or “rice Verde” is rice with very finely minced herbs in it . You can use whatever herbs you like but traditionally it is made with parsley, cilantro,and a little bit of basil. It’s a beautiful color and is delicious if done right. I used to serve it on my catering menu as a side for a spicy Cuban pork. Give it a try. Make sure to add some butter to the cooked rice before you add the herbs. If you can find lemon basil that pushes it up to sublime!
    I use just a good quality long grained rice – nothing fancy.

    I feel like I’m becoming the master of “odd foods” on ibrattleboro!

      Not food coloring

      These always make more sense after the explanation. Thanks!

      Thye also sound more delicious, too.

        No Guarantees

        Chris, I can’t vouch for the way the “green rice” is made at the Senior lunches.
        My explanations of these dishes are based on 40 years of cooking experience and owning a catering business for 25 of those years. I sincerely hope that – other than cake frosting- nobody is making meals with food coloring! Yuk!

          Green dye

          For St Patrick’s Day one year my mom packed me a school lunch with green eggs and ham. Fun idea, but the dyed eggs made me ill just looking at them. : )

            The Drinking of the Green

            In my 30s I tended bar for several years in a small, neighborhood pub in Boston. On St. Patrick’s Day the owner would have us inject a little green dye into one of the beer lines- making a noxious hued “green Beer”. Bright green bagels were also brought in by the dozen for those patrons who liked to begin their St. Paddy’s Day celebrating before noon. The bagels helped absorb some of the effects of the liquor making our job just a little bit less difficult.
            Despite the increase in tips St. Patrick’s Day was one of the worst times to be a bartender – at least in Boston. The other dreaded night was New Year’s Eve- commonly known by my fellow bartenders and waitresses as “amateur night”!
